to Colby and the people of Watervile for the
reason that but \ few days since the visiting
team played the BowdoiA team with a result

result Of this game was Il 70 in favor of
the Coiby's as can be seen from the score
below. The comparative standing of the
bowdoin and Colby teams is left for arithme-
TEXANS to calculate. The prominent features
OF the game were the phenomenal pitching
OF Goodwin which the visiting nine utterly
failed to catch on" and the equally good
catching OF Larrabee; the heavy batting of
the Colby team, their total base bite being %
to 4 for the Presumpscots: another
prominent feature the attempt OF the visitors
to break up" Goodwin, the pitcher of the

the end of three innings that they gave up
the attempt 10 despair. The umpire, prompt
and sharp 10 his decisions, seemed unfair at

law has 80 driven liquor sellers to the wall
that this revenue promises to cut down to
mere bagatelle. Your correspondent called
upon Collector Redman today to ascertain
how many liquor licenses had been already
taken out. One hundred and eleven is the
total number thus far, against 3l9 issued last
wear at this time. In the first collection
division, of which Portland, Saco aud Bidde-
ford are the largest places, % have been
taken out. In the second division, of which
Lewiston, Auburn, Augusta, Hallowell, Gar

nlaces. six have been issued. In the third
and remaining division. in which Bangor,
Belfast. Ellsworth. Calais, Eastport and Houl
ton are the largest places, II Licenses have
haen taken out, and most of these have been
ssued to Bangor parties. Scarcely hotel
license in the State has been granted, the
number of applications made coming mostly
from Bangor. The Bar Harbor bonifaces
